Welcome to Karen's Spot, where my oil and pastel paintings, charcoal and pen and ink drawings are posted. Creating art is sometimes a community affair. I will post my paintings and drawings in progress and finished, and invite your feedback. I invite you enjoy the creative process with me!

Value study

I have a new iPhone and just added the bloggerplus app. Now able to post blogs from my phone, don't have to wait til I'm home at my desk top. This means more frequent blogs! Woo Hoo! just started this new figure painting, now waiting on the first layer to dry... getting ready for two shows at the Stutz, October and November. More to come!

Hi Karen! I don't know whether you want this advise. I like this version better. You got a good likeness and I like how it's not smooth. When you choose colors, you choose beautiful combinations...but this captures the light maybe not the color. Ah...my terminology is lacking. This has more dimension. The other is beautiful in color but a tad more flat as far as seeing the figure. I don't want to give you advise that you'd rather not have...so let me know if this wasn't helpful. Vandra's teaching is awesome. :)
